I have 2 TWGS. One at 6.25 MHz with a 25 MHz crystal and a second at 7 MHz
with a 28MHz crystal. I was running the 7MHz TWGS at 12MHZ with a 48MHz
crystal (very snappy) for a while but the machine was a bit too unstable for
my taste. I plan to upgrade the cache with faster RAM and try again but
haven't quite gotten around to it yet. It's my understanding that the
6.25MHz TWGS were some of the first produced so their cache RAM may have
been pushed closer to the limit than later models. This may be your problem.
